Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

It seems right here to remark, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, that Margaret Ossoli's thoughts were not directed so exclusively to the subject of the present volume as have been the minds of some others. As to the movement for the emancipation of Woman from the unjust burdens and disabilities to which she has been subject to, even in our own land, my sister could neither remain indifferent nor silent; yet she preferred, as in respect to every other reform, to act independently and to speak independently from her own stand-point, and never to merge her individuality in any existing organisation. Thus, she did, not as condemning such organisations, nor yet as judging them wholly unwise or uncalled for, but because she believed she could herself accomplish more for their true and high objects, unfettered by such organisations, than if a member of them.

Which word in the passage means the same as 'freeing of someone from slavery'?
